Vulfpeck (and guitarist Cory Wong) has become a major name amongst a new wave of funk-influenced musicians. Today, Cory sits down with us to talk about his personal method of bringing rhythmic guitar instinct into his lead playing.

Can't believe his parents named him after a Vulfpeck song

can't believe someone's using the neck pickup
Matthew Chunk 3 - oh yeah what a rare occurance

It‘s called the fourth position
Let's be honest, Cory's right hand technique is good, but the true power comes from his incredible funk face.
Just as that drummers face I love it
Everyone gets a stank face with Cory Wong!
Sometimes I have to look away. I cannot help but think its the same face he makes during intercourse
@@bueller8278 WHY THINK ABOUT THAT?
What are you doing here, FUNK FACE
Don't judge a book by its cover. This band has an amazing funky groove. While having the fashion sense and look of the IT department.
they are an amazing band, amazing musicians, but they look like they hired a stylist to dress them up.
Yeah thats not VULFPECK thats just some reverb musicians backing up cory for this vid
It sounds awesome, but that drummer is the goofiest looking son of a bitch I've ever seen.
Not Reverb musicians. The drummer and keys are local guys from Minneapolis, where Cory is from.

This video gave me a whole new appreciation for how sick Cory's playing is.
Cory needs to team up with the Slow-no Guys to get his right hand in super slow-motion
5:08
repeated guitar and rhodes slides. Just wanted to let you know. GOLD
Wintergatan amazing to find your comment here, love your work man, pumped for that world tour
oh hey martin
Actually it's a Wurly
what is this, a crossover episode?
@@jacobkantor3886 I see what you did there
That tapping impression made my day. 0:40
You can truly appreciate his foot long fingers
Tapping is a bit shit. It's for teenagers in cheap sport socks.
The greatest rhythm player of this generation! Anyone who has tried to get the consistency in tone he gets knows how hard this shit is.
It's because he's really a bass player at heart.
Awesome! You should get Joe Dart to do some bass videos. Love that band.
woody should come in and play some classic woody goss lines................actually i need the boys to all show up
And Theo for singing solos. WTAF.
"Ok, so what i do here, is I be Joe Dart, and it just kinda happens"
I remember being a 16 year old and locking myself in my room for 6-8 hours a day for weeks to practice funk style guitar playing . It really took me a while to get a hang of it, the whole getting used to only letting the notes/strings you want to play sound while you're strumming the whole thing constantly and separating the left and right hand rhythmically, but i got so proud when i did.
It's really versatile and you can do a lot of fun stuff in that style.
FOURTH POSITION.
IT'S SO FUNKY AND IT'S LOW VOLUME.
The funkiest position!

AH *barely audible*
I had never heard of Cory Wong or Vulfpeck and I'm blown away. That is some insane, tight, in-the-pocket, funk rhythm that is just off the chain amazing. Thank you Reverb! Keep 'em coming.
Damn it is so funky, even their looks.
Elvis bro you gotta listen to vulfpeck. They're so good!!!
the faces, man, the faces
They're so white.
Reccomend me an album. Sounds great. Found this in my suggested videos and decided to give it a watch.
JPaul Music First of all, listen to their EPs, a lot of their best work on there.
But if you wanna hear Cory Wong you should listen to The Beautiful Game, and if you like that then maybe check out Mr. Finish Line. And if you like those, you can listen to The Thrill Of The Arts (no Cory Wong on this one, though).
Hope this helps
Saw him and Vulf at ACL this year. They opened with Cory Wong (the song) and I have never seen people start dancing that quickly. They honestly outplayed RHCP which says something
the VulfPack
What's the song called?
crispwhite it’s called Cory Wong
Owen Anderson you know a good live version? The album cut is not as good as the performance in this video
This is all I know.
Nobody:
Cory Wong: *take the bones off your hand*
Tiago Lageira Why is Cory taking bones off my hand?
Two days later, and this band is one of the best most refreshing feeling bands I've heard in a while. Wow.
Even if it’s not my style, I’m loving these videos from lesser known but really interesting guitarists like Cory Wong and Isaiah Sharkey. I grew up on the big names of classic rock, but young guitar players need some new inspiration. Keep it up Reverb!
Totally agree... How many more Kurt Hammet GuitarWorld magazines really need to come out?
Agree. Reverb’s content is soooo much better than it has to be for the channel to serve its basic purpose, but they do it anyway which awesome and tells me there are really passionate people doing these.
Lesser known.Dude cory wong is a legend
@@austra77777 A young legend who is lesser known worldwide than, say, Van Halen and Prince
Great guitar player...I'm amazed at how so many great guitar sounds and riffs you can find in the disco-funk style...gino soccio...cerrone...donna summer...voyage..chic...earth wind and fire...brothers johnsons..kool and the gang...kc and sunshine band...jamiroquai...level 42...chaka khan...change...bbqandband...insane!!!
One of the most talented artists I've heard lately.
Yes, thank you! Love Cory's work with Vulf, and his new solo album is excellent as well.
Cory Wong's got clock hands. Tight pocket feel 100% of the time.
agreed. he's making it look easy just like fooling around but everything he's playing is record quality
He used to be a line drummer, and played in clubs in Minneapolis for years. Years of timing practice paying off.
Every funk guitarist should be LOCKED in the pocket!!
how the fuck this man making slap bass sounds on a strat, legend.
DelScully that's what I was thinking
compression, reverb
Looks like he's going straight into the front of the amp so probably not.
DelScully it's his picking, that's the whole point of the video
Well... Now we all want Joe Dart in here
Everyone luvs joe dart
This guy is insightful and humble. Their is so much quality information in this video.
I've watched this video so many times and it still amazes me every damn time
Damn I love this dude - absurdly competent "rhythm" guitarist, with a palpably humble self-awareness at all times. Peck was right to name a song for him, and his parents were right to name him after the song, as has been said.
That drummer is a damn legend lmfao
the pianist and drummer look so disappointed
He's horrifying
Maybe i should get some stank face pointers if it lets me pull off tasty as fuck fills like 2:56
Peter Janjic. Pretty cool leftie drummer
Love VULFPECK and all their various ensembles and members. These guys are just fun to watch as well as hear.
You ain't got a thing, if you ain't got that swing! :-)
So much of smooth, dynamic, and/or powerful guitar playing really is in your strumming/picking hand, whether you are a righty or leftie, for sure.
drummer is from an other dimension. at least his face.
Years of face take its toll on ones face
Thanks Reverb. Love this series!
Recently saw them at Red Rocks as an opening act, and was only a little familiar with them. Cory's amazing tone and tight playing caught my ear immediately. Awesome show.
Thanks for introducing me to these guys, @Reverb!
The key to funky: making weird faces.
Christopher Bloom it's not so much making the face but having the face be made by the sheer *uhhhHH*
Christopher Bloom u
And this dude doesn’t hold back a BIT. Watch him in the video for Hero Town. When I saw those faces, I instantly thought wow this Cory Wong know how get down holy shit!
It's the Trey logic.... Very effective
@Christopher Bloom nah man that's the key to play Jazz. the key to play funk is Jerk off *ALOT*
Funk is a sound and also a face you make when you accomplish that sound.
i use to play funk exclusively but i got more into fusion the last ten years, about to go jam some funk now. didnt realize how much i missed it until they were all in the groove together.
Awesome, well rounded. What a guitarist should be. This kid gets it.!
Cory wong making his rhythmic stuff intentionally "sloppy" is like the equivalent to when girls style their hair to look sloppy and it's so freaking genius
God damn that guitar tone is so great 😍
Thanks for that great quality material!
Nice. Thanks for taking about how you find the right pattern and combine melodic and percussive ideas
Funkiest Mormon missionary I ever did see 😄
CaptPostmod 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
truth
@Alice Karlsson Mormon, then.
I'd like to talk to you about our lord and savior, Jesus Coomes
EVERYBODY STAND UP AND DO THE JESUS DANCE !!!!!
Saw the update on my phone and HAD to SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON
Glad you guys did this! And thanks Cory!
It's nice to see someone playing like this. Looks like he's angling the pick the opposite direction that most people do, instead of leaning towards the bridge "\" as a traditional right-handed player does; the pick attacks the strings like "/" (I've been told it's essentially lefty-style picking angle on a righty setup). Which really lends to the fast-strumming and funky Strat-style he's got. I also do this, it's extremely hard for me to play funk rhythms and feel loose if I try it the other way.
That space echo in the back is eyeing at me.
Great and very inspiring playing... made me reach for my guitar and try some of this stuff out. Man, is this guy's wrist loose...
I love how it has full caption explaining what type of music is being played. For all the deaf music fans out there.
That hand technique is beautiful with the precision I've mostly only seen it with ukulele or basically pickless, love how he knows he doesn't have to overcompensate and can mute as much as he does reminds me that maybe there can be people in small genres with unique skills that get very popular.
this guys playing is incredible and i love the drummers serial killer glasses
@Vincent Wright They all wear wires or frameless, often tinted, right? It's bizarre.
I could be in heaven seeing Cory and Nile on stage together.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Super interesting to see these parts isolated. Thanks, Cory! Thanks, Reverb!
4:40 Hitting us with The Cup stacker 1 year in advance :oo
Cory Wong x Slo Mo Guys collaboration video, please. Love to see that at 100,000 FPS
Vulfpeck is amazing live and this dude is so so good.
Now that's what funk rhythm sounds like...you've got the best right hand loose rhythm I have seen on the tube...!!! Kinds reminds me of Larry Graham on bass...!!!
When that hand goes to cartilage, how does he keep from losing the pick ?
he still has a decent grip as you would when regularly strumming
Is there a full version of the thing he plays at 5:10?
I could tell this guy was a drummer that probably played on a drum line almost from the moment he started playing in this video. Great stuff.
i love this guys style. LOVE IT
Cory almost turns the guitar into a percussion instrument. He's a brilliant rhythm guy!
dream guitar tone here
Shian sho yea. Anyone has any clues on how to getting that?
@@rayhoodoo847 4th Position Strat. Fender amp. Super dry signal. A compressor might help. The tone is mainly from the 4th strat position and how you play it.
@@shelbyabb2516 what do you mean with dry signal?
@@rayhoodoo847 Oh that just means little to no reverb or modulation like delay. Wet generally means reverb and delay, and dry means none of that.
@@shelbyabb2516 ah, thanks a lot mate
Amazing tone and Rhythm. Thats why I love Strats.
This is awesome. Super funky playing.
bones: *turned off*
b o n e l e s s
LMFAOOOOOO........d e b o n e d
Cory is the fucking best
This dude is sick. I’ve watched this like 5 times today.
Love that he credited Dave Matthews. First person I thought of when I saw his strumming
Hello Reverb, i have one question, is that a 68 Vibrolux Cory is playing through and is that his go to amp or did he use it just for this video because you had it around. Thank you very much.
The Vibrolux lives in our studio. We'll have to ask Cory about his amp preferences next time he drops in. :)
Cool, thanks for the reply.
Metal bands should learn how to do mean faces with funk/disco guys.
Pedro Toledo YEESSS
awesome video. this is the stuff guitarists like to see
I've gotta share this, great clip!
any chance for that hand to get filmed in slomo?
troy grady should do a video on his right hand technique, he's got a great series on his channel
Kosher Harmonics slow down the play back...
Legend has it that no camera is fast enough to capture the speed of Cory Wong's hand
RUclips has that ability in the settings. You slow it down 0.25
@@godwantsplastic That doesn't help. It needs to be filmed with a higher frame rate.
At 3:25 his hand looks like a rubber chicken
hahaha
I was going to say a spastic octopus but you nailed it!
A rubber chicken... So similar to a funky duck?
gold
This is amazing!! Cory's playing style is superb, after hearing turning bone into cartilage I immediately hit the like button, awesome!!
Just so clean.
Boi that right hand has got some serious divinity going on.
Could you do an episode of Riffs in the key of Johhny Marr? That would be great.
The sound of that guitar is so good I can’t even comprehend it
4:39 this riff omg... SO FUCKING GOOOOOD
Does anyone know the name of the first song that they play?
"Rubens" - Cory Wong and the Green Screen Band
he doesn't play the guitar, he plays the stratocaster.
*stratocaster in the fourth position
@@User-jk8wq *Jack Strattoncaster in the fourth position in the French Alps
pretty sure he's playing a gibson les paul
Gives all the Daves props at once!!! Instant rockstar!! Seriously this guy can fkn jam
I've lived in Minnesota my entire life and never heard of this dude til now. I'm now absolutely pissed that I've been denied this for most of my existence.
His right hand is like a metronome on its own. Now get Joe Dart in there!
4rd position!!
That funky playing is the 💥!!!
I know cory in person and he's an extremely nice guy! Very approachable
cory muthafuckin wong. yeeee
_"yeeee"_ I have cancer now.
I’ve been trying to play this type of funk rhythm for the last few weeks, after decades of ‘other genres,’ and I’m constantly surprised at how challenging this stuff is. It looks simple, because of the repetition and there aren’t lightning fast solo bits. But the right hand “motor” and syncopation with the left hand muting all those strings…. Difficult. I’m even having problems just holding onto the pick. Trying a dozen different picks, and even bought little gripper adhesive thingies to help, but I’m not there yet. Not yet..
Haha…I know the struggle man. I’ve messed around with funk guitar for a while now, but I’m nowhere near Cory Wong’s level. I’ve been using Dava Grip Tip picks for funk rhythm (I believe Cory uses the same pick) and I put adhesive grips on the pick as well which really helps a lot. It’s difficult to get a consistent attack across the strings with both up and down strokes.
To help with hitting notes on the right beat, I’ve found that practicing accents on different beats seems to help. Reverb actually posted a video of Cory Wong’s practice routine where he talks about this.
Complete awesomeness!
So cool. Love VULFPECK ❤️
*mellow little ditty*
*"hEY REVERB DOT COM"*
Song pls(?)
Awesome, something different for a change and some what new and unique.
I miss playing with you Bro! Love from Brazil!!!
Get Blake Mills!
I bet this dude could tear it up on a Bodrhan with like an hour of practice.
Cory Wong - what an unbelievable groove 🤘👍😎
glad to see corey getting the recognition he truly deserves
